Just a thought.......

Quoted from ABC news 20/20


"But that's so silly because — and I bet most of you don't know this — the IRS says the richest 1 percent of taxpayers already pay 34 percent of all income taxes. Twice what Sharpton wanted them to pay.

Still you may feel the rich should pay even more. It's a tempting thought, since they have so much.

But let's remember the facts: the top 1 percent of Americans — those who earn more than about $300,000 a year — pay 34 percent, more than a third of all income taxes, and the top 5 percent, those making over $125,000, pay more than half. "

Finally some media folks that are willing to spout some facts and not just "myths" in my opinion!!!!

I know they're Democrats.  They can't seem to realize that it's possiable to be single and have NO children.
